About this listen
I’ve been seeing this topic everywhere lately. There’s a lot of noise, a lot of strong opinions, and honestly, a lot of confusion. So in this episode, I wanted to slow things down and really unpack what’s going on. We take a closer look at recent US actions involving Venezuela and Iran, and ask a simple but important question: are these actions actually legal under international law?
What You’ll Discover
- The Venezuela Operation Explained: Why the removal of Nicolás Maduro raises serious concerns around sovereignty, international law, and unlawful use of force.
- The Iran Debate Isn’t Simple: How legal experts are split between viewing the attack as illegal versus a justified act of self-defence.
- Where International Law Gets Tested: Why concepts like “imminent threat” and UN approval are central to determining what is and isn’t lawful.
On paper, the rules seem clear. But in practice, interpretation, politics, and power all play a role in how those rules are applied or ignored. And that’s where things get uncomfortable.
